Though Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast reimagining won’t hit theaters for another few weeks, fans can already start to get into the spirit and perhaps feel like a princess as they exercise through the new Disney x New Balance sneaker collection.
If Disney-bounding (AKA creatively cosplaying as your favorite Disney character) isn’t your thing, maybe this line will be for you and can fulfill your even more low-key Disney-inspired wardrobe needs as they serve as a subtle nod to everyone’s favorite bookworm turned princess, Belle.
The adult three-shoe set is inspired by Belle’s different looks, and are perfect for walking, cross-training, or even strolling through town as you read a book. Here’s a closer look at the shoes:

Vazee Transform Disney Trainer, $90

Fresh Foam Zante v3 Disney, $120

Vazee Rush Disney, $100

They also come in kid’s sizes:

790v6 Disney in Pink and Blue, $60

All shoes, including the children’s line in extended sizing ranging from infant/toddler to grade school, are available on New Balance’s website now. Beauty and the Beast opens March 17.
